Ride on
The Mystery Lyrics

Well I was caught up with myself
I was too focused on my own troubles and concerns

On the highway at night
Driving late at night on the highway

Drivin' like a bat outta hell
Driving very fast and recklessly

When I beheld an amazing sight
When I saw something incredibly surprising

It was a lonely apparition
It was a ghost-like figure standing alone

By the roadside standing there
Standing next to the road

With his thumb out in the wilderness
Hitchhiking in the middle of nowhere

And a halo in his hair
His hair was surrounded by a glowing ring, like a halo

He said 'Gimme a ride to heaven boy
He asked me for a ride to heaven

I'll Show you paradise
In return, he promised to show me paradise

Yeah gimme a ride to heaven boy
He repeated his request for a ride to heaven

My name is Jesus Christ'
He identified himself as Jesus Christ

So I come screeching to a halt
I quickly stopped the car

I said 'Hop on in
I invited him to get in the car

He says 'thanks a lot for the lift
He expressed gratitude for giving him a ride

I forgive you of your sins
He claimed to forgive me for my past mistakes

Yeah I just come from Jerusalem
He mentioned that he had just been in Jerusalem

Where things are going bad
He acknowledged that things were not going well there

Ah gimme a ride to heaven boy
He once again asked for a ride to heaven

I need to talk to my dad'
He explained that he needed to talk to his father (God)

Well I didn't know what to do
I was unsure of how to respond

So I jammed her down in gear
I forcefully shifted the car into gear

Kind a kicked my feet beneath the seat
I hid my feet under the seat

I was trying to hide the beer
I was attempting to conceal the fact that I had beer in the car

Ah but he just grinned and said 'My friend,
However, he smiled and addressed me as his friend

I know you must think it's odd
He understood that I might find the situation strange

But you got nothin' to fear about drinkin' a beer
He reassured me that there was nothing to fear in drinking a beer

If you share it with the son of God'
He implied that sharing the beer with him, the son of God, would make it acceptable

Well I saw good news in his baby blues
I noticed hope and positivity in his eyes

So I stomped it on the floor
I pressed the gas pedal firmly

I said you have to show me how to get there
I asked him to guide me to heaven

I ain't been before
I admitted that I had never been there before

Well it's a hard place to find' he said
He acknowledged that finding heaven can be difficult

But I'll give you a little clue
He offered me a hint or a tip

It ain't somewhere up in the air
He clarified that heaven is not located in the sky

It's sittin' right here inside with you'
He revealed that heaven can be found within ourselves

Then right in the middle of that perfect smile
At that moment, in the midst of his flawless smile

From his robes he pulled a gun
He unexpectedly revealed a gun from his clothing

An stuck it up beside my head and said
He pointed the gun next to my head and said

'How's this for Kingdom Come?'
He rhetorically asked if this situation felt like the coming of the Kingdom of God

Well I pulled off scared but I heard him say
I quickly drove away in fear, but I could still hear him say

As he left me beneath the stars
As he departed, leaving me under the night sky

'The Lord moves in mysterious ways
He referred to how God's actions often seem strange and hard to understand

And tonight, my son He's gonna use your car'
He revealed that tonight, I would play a special role in God's plan
